The Shaoshan 8 (Chinese: 韶山8) is a semi-high-speed electric locomotive used on the People's Republic of China's national railway system.

The SS8 is based on its predecessor, the SS5, and was developed and built by CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Works.

These trains were initially hauled by an SS8 locomotive but their pantographs were considered harmful to KCR's catenary even after necessary conversions had been made.

As of March 2010, the SS8 was still the only China Railway electric locomotive allowed to access Hong Kong.

Locomotive-hauled services have been cancelled after the COVID-19 pandemic, replaced by Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link.
